Thoughts on Rupert?

[piloswi]

I really like the name Rupert. It’s been a name that’s I’m liking more and more.

I’m aware it’s quite a marmite name and I’m not sure if it would bother me if family/friends didn’t like it.

Ha, there’s a Rupert in my family and we are definitely not posh. He’s not wet or weak either. Use it if you like it.

It's got very posh connotations to me. I prefer Reuben if you want Roo.

I love marmite and loathe the name Rupert. It's just a bit....soggy. Wupert. But if I ever met a Rupert I would certainly never let on.

I knew an adult Rupert - very charismatic, very popular, athlete, with a PhD and a lovely Northern accent. So I have a positive association with it.

Odd that. I like Reuben. I somehow sounds less soggy.

Why though? I don't understand anyone who judges someone because of their name given very few of us choose our names.
OP I know a lovely little Rupert. It's not a name I would have chosen but it has grown on me.
Whatever name you chose some people will hate it so don't let that bother you and think about what you like.
There are many worse names than Rupert.

I want to say it as Wupert every time I see it but I’m not sure why. I wonder if it’s a quote from something?

Lovely, but a few about now

The Ruperts I know are cocks and wear mustard cords ...

I think it’s lovely. But be aware he’s likely to be Roo or Rupes at school.

I love it.

Awful

Outrageously posh. I suppose fine if you are too, and he’ll be sent to Winchester or whatever. An encumbrance if you’re not.

Genuinely, who is that? I suddenly can’t think of a single famous Rupert.

One way of guaranteeing he won’t join the army.

I agree.
I think of Rupert Bear

I wouldn’t pick it personally but don’t hate it, I wouldn’t think what an awful name if I met a Rupert, I can’t recall ever meeting one.

I absolutely love it!

I'd tentatively suggest considering what sort of circles you tend to move in. If he's likely to grow up in Marlow and go to boarding school, he'll fit right in. If you live in a rough part of Middlesbrough and he's heading for the local comp, perhaps the name might bring additional challenges!

No, he’ll be a wet lettuce.
Or smarmy, like Rupert Rigsby.

Rupert Campbell Black?

I went to school with a Quentin. What a dickhead. Absolutely loved himself. Still does.

And they probably wear capes too. Incredibly posh.

He's got my vote in the locals next month.

My friend has a Rupert. I wasn't convinced at all at first, but it quickly grew on me.

Too posh sorry. I work with a nice bloke who is always called Rupes - that’s dreadful too.
